Quick Share

Well now that I finally have a scrap room back the pages have been rolling out (not sure how long it will keep up) I am loving getting surrounded by papers and bling and all things scrappy. I have start a new position at the Bank now, well it is one I have done before but now with the hours changed. I now work from 10-3 monday-friday and find that I am not so tired after getting home from work and have an hour or maybe two before I have to start on tea and other motherly duties (you know the one that never end lol). So I am loving my new time, but I really need to fit in some exercise I guess it's all about balance.

Well enough of my dribble, not sure if anyone actually reads it anyway.....
First LO is one of my Son and my youngest Brother (ok so the youngest one is my son) A great time running around posing for me with their nerf guns. Those parents out there with boys know who much fun it is to find them bloody bullets EVERYWHERE!!!! Argghh drive me nuts picking them up all the time or taking them out of the dogs mouth!

I used Echo park paper and the packaging from the nerf gun, tim holtz cog die, bottle top and fabric flag, embossing labeller.

The next one is a pic of My Hubby and Brother-In-Law on grand final day, they had had a few to drink as they both are Collingwood supporters.

My Hubby really does like this LO I know even though he say he doesn't he he..... Well that is about it for now I should really be getting to bed.... Well getting these kids to be I gotta say I am sooooo over them fighting tonight, Do any of you that read this have the same problem with your children? How do you deal with them? I find it easier to sometimes switch of and let them sort it out themselves.... I think ear plugs would be a great investment right about now!!

Back from MIA

Well I have been so busy in the last part of the year, My beautiful dog Zara passed away in
September after her short struggle with Cancer, Still miss her so much.
We are doing a reno at home and only this last week did we complete the sanding and sealing floor boards and the painting of our 2nd lounge, dining room, kitchen, laundry and hall way. What a massive job that was but soooo glad that it is all done and looks amazing. Lucky that I have a very talented and hard working Hubby or we would never have been able to afford to pay someone to do it for us.... So today I got to move my scrap space back and finally got to do some scrapping for the first time in 4 months OMG I don't think I have gone for so long without scrapping a page. So here is the page I have just completed be nice I am rusty admittedly I did scrap lift one of Wendy Smiths latest pages for inspiration.

I decided to give a challenge ago and found that scrap the girl challenge this month was

MONOCHROMATIC

minimal black and white is allowed, that means, for inks or journalling, or rubons or doodling or the odd small embellishment.

After my dog Zara's passing we did add a new addition to the family, my house has to have 2 dogs. Sooo we introduce Bella to the family another Rottie of course. Bella is now 8 mths old but the photo is her at 4mths old with My boy Jake and my Boxer Arlie so she is a big puppy and reminds me everyday of Zara. I'm sure Zara sent her to me xxx

Well hopefully I will be back soon with some more pics of my scrappy fun! Will upload some pics of my new space soon.

Another Just because LO......

Just  a quick post forgot to put up a LO I completed of my BFF. This is one on her special wedding day, she looked so beautiful. And what a special day it was.

 A few handmade items on this LO as well, Loving the handmade stuff again!

TFL, had better go get this Father's day tea ready... Roast Lamb yummy. But no Tom Cruise just my wonderful Hubby wouldn't swap him for Tom Cruise anyway he he.

Happy Father's Day to all the Daddy's out there xx

Stuck Sketch September...

Here is the sketch over at Stuck this month, It's a great multiple picture LO. Turned out great for some pic that I have been meaning to scrap for quite a while of My 2 kids playing Tug of war. It's so nice when the actually play nice together and not fight...

And here is my interpretation of the sketch.....

 PP from Stampin up, Handmade masking tape flower, bling.

I am loving using hessian at the moment, gives my LO a new dimension.

TFL have a great Scrappy Sunday!!

Scrap the Girls September Challenge....

So the challenge this month is to use CLIPS...paperclips, bulldog clips, and clips...

Here is what I came up with.....

 This is My Gorgeous Niece Ellie, she is such a happy little baby and I really enjoyed looking after her for a few day. Even with the sleep deprivation and being thrown in the deep end with nappies and bottles again. I thought that I was so past that stage.

Love this fabric button that I made with the cute teddy!!
 TFL..... More challenge LO to come, so loving scrapping ATM!!!

September Challenge at Scrap the Boys......

My first month at scrap the boys, LO challenge This month is to use household/family ephemera on your layouts. Now this can be anything from clothing labels, toy packaging, gift cards or cards from birthdays, ticket stubs etc....
Here is my example....

I have used the package from My Boys Mighty Beanz. As soon as he has $5 he is off the Kmart for another packet. He' s collection total to date is 113 Beanz.

I have used October Afternoon PP and a lot of handmade embellishments and the orange button is from A lil' somethin. Lots of distressing inking and stamping.

I'm really happy with how this turned out as I think that he does represent he's collection well.

If you would like to give this challenge a go head to Scrap the Boys and give it ago. Would love to see what you come up with.

Thanks for looking and please leave a comment, Love to hear what you think and the chance to visit your blog also!!. Enjoy your day I'm off to my scrap desk while the kids are at school....
